Bright Freehand Nail Art

Hi there loves! It's Friday! Yay! Also, it's a public holiday in South Africa today so frankly, I'm in a stupendous mood!

Before I get to today's post though I just
want to wish all the ladies a happy Women's Day. To all the mothers,
the sisters, the girl friends, the best friends. All of us have that
exceptional woman in our lives who make it worthwhile, even if it's
just being able to make the perfect cup of coffee. I hope I can
strive to become that woman one day that someone will look at and say
“She really is an exceptional women!”.

Now to the fun stuff!

A few weeks ago I found this great pin
on Pinterest and the first thing that popped into my head was TRON!
I knew I had to try and recreate it but just instead make a black base and use the Tron colors...That didn't happen though. Halfway into the mani I
threw Tron out the window and decided to add 2 more bright colors to
the mix.

Nail Polishes
used:

WOW Nail
Polish #393

Tip Top Nail
Chic We Have An Agreen Mint

Tip Top Nail
Chic Grape To Meet You

Tip Top Nail
Chic Solar Flare

Tip Top Nail
Chic Jazz Berryblue

Tools Used:

Small thin
nail art brush

From Left to Right: TT Jazz Berryblue, TT Solar Flare, TT We Have An Agreen Mint, TT Grape To Meet You

I started out by
laying down 2 coats of WOW Nail Polish #393. Then with the
thin nail art brush I went in and freehanded the pointed shapes with
the different colors of polish, filling in the spaces with the same
color toward the insides. At the parts where I made my lines a little
too thick I just went in and corrected those parts with the nail art
brush and the black polish again.

All the Tip Top
polishes I used worked great in this mani! They are very well
pigmented so I didn't need to build them up too much. Some of the
lines I even got away with 1 layer.

I got a lot of
compliments on this mani. I even got scowled by my co-worker because
I wanted to change my nail art two days later. I guess that counts as
a success right!

If you would like me to swatch any of the colours you saw in today’s post, please let me know via email or drop me a comment below. More than willing to oblige!
